Cat Sitters in New York
Your cat stays in their own home, with their own routine
Cats and travel do not mix well. Boarding facilities are stressful, hotels turn into days of hiding, and even staying with a friend means a new apartment full of unfamiliar smells. Cat sitting drop-in visits on Petme connect you with verified NYC sitters who come to your Manhattan studio, Brooklyn brownstone, or Queens walk-up to feed, scoop, refresh water, and spend time with your cat, so your cat keeps their own home, their own litter, and their own routine the entire time you are away.
Petme charges New York cat owners 0% commission. The per-visit rate you agree with your sitter is the full price, with no service fees on top. Every booking automatically includes up to $20,000 in vet protection, useful coverage in a city where Animal Medical Center or BluePearl emergency visits can otherwise be expensive. Cashback is credited automatically after every completed visit.

FAQ
Common questions about cat sitting in New York
How much does cat sitting cost in NYC?
Cat sitting drop-in visits in New York typically run $25 to $45 per visit. Most owners book one to two visits per day depending on the cat. Petme charges 0% owner commission, so the rate you agree with your sitter is the full price.
Is in-home cat sitting better than boarding a cat?
For most cats, yes. Cats are deeply territorial and a strange environment can cause stress eating, litter avoidance, and hiding for days after returning home. Drop-in visits at your own apartment keep your cat in their own space, with their own bowls, scent, and routine.
Can Petme cat sitters administer medication?
Many of our verified NYC sitters can handle daily pill, liquid, or transdermal medications. Insulin injections require an experienced sitter, message a few candidates and confirm details during the meet-and-greet.
Will a sitter come every day or just some days?
You choose the schedule. Most NYC owners book once-daily visits for healthy adult cats and twice-daily for kittens, seniors, or cats on medication. Visit length is typically 30 to 60 minutes.
How does building access work in NYC apartments?
Petme sitters are familiar with doormen, key fobs, key drop-offs, lockboxes, and elevator etiquette across NYC. Confirm building access logistics during the meet-and-greet so the sitter has reliable entry for every visit.
